Observance of Juneteenth Holiday
This is a reminder that campus will be closed on Wednesday, June 19, 2024 in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. It is actually the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States, having originated in Galveston, Texas in 1865. As this day is a time for reflection as well as celebration, please take some time to check out local events and ways to recognize the day around Louisville. Happy Juneteenth to all!
